Don't worry about it, it will work out. My derm has put me on my highest dosage 45mg now and It is going bad I do feel hopeless but I have been told to be patient as it will improve very soon. So be patient don't worry it will be over soon :) good luck

DAY 83

fouzi2014
hello im in my day 83 now still on 20 mg ....the good news the depression is gone ...and my face is less dry now ....but a new side effect came to life ....witch is ''sweating a lot'' ...i always had this problem but now it kinda worse but in the brighter side ....im starting to have 1 pimple per week witch goes in 5 days but leaves a trace that would take a while to fade away completely ...i was lucky these couple days to have a new pimple but under my chin ....at least its hidden ...so for now my only concern is the brown marks that i have in my face ...especially in my nose ...they kinda bother me ...so im hoping they leave soon ...taking with them any evidence that i ever had acne
